Telecom Provisioning Jobs in California (NOW HIRING)

Purpose The purpose of the Telecom Reference Model (TRM) Team is to develop a reference model for business architecture in multi-national Communication Service Providers (CSPs) operating in regulated markets to give these organizations a coherent starting point for their adoption of business architecture.   Scope 1. A multinational CSP in the context of the TRM covers any Enterprise which provides communication services. This includes voice, data, and media services together with network and device provisioning. 2. The TRM will cover the creation and administration of CSP related products and services utilized by customers, both individual consumers as well as businesses. 3. The scope of the TRM includes ecosystems in which a multinational CSP operates. This includes providing the services themselves or working with suppliers to, for example, physically lay cables and fiber, provide communication infrastructure, devices, and customer equipment, or deliver broadcast media content, broadband, and mobile services. 4. The scope of the TRM will support all CSP business environments; single nation / market to multinational / multi-market and single product / multi-product. 5. Create mappings of capabilities, value streams, organization, and stakeholders sufficient to provide a baseline or starting point for organizations to launch or mature their business architecture efforts. 6. Identify approaches that organizations can take when adopting the model, including likely permutations or customizations. 7. Focus on multi-national CSP specific business architecture reference model content while engaging with and incorporating cross-industry reference model content form the Common Reference Model.   Goals 1. Expedite multi-national CSP adoption and proliferation of business architecture through an industry reference model. 2. Enhance the utility of and conformance to the BIZBOK® Guide 3. Publish readily consumable reference model content that can be adapted and customized by members and scaled to support the transition between various CSP business environments, including, but not limited to, single nation / market to multinational / multi-market, single product / service to multi-product / multi-service, and vice-versa. 4. Extend the core capabilities of the business architecture practitioner by adding the ability to consume, integrate and leverage the reference business architecture model to create organization-specific models. 5. Develop and foster a business architecture community of experts to enable and enhance best practices in multi-national CSPs. 6. Engage and inform Business Architecture Guild members on the topic of business architecture for multinational CSPs.   Deliverables 1. The team Charter 2. Annual roadmap of deliverables 3.
